Our Partners

Willis Towers Watson Networks

Our membership of Willis Towers Watson Networks provides us with access to many of the leading UK insurance companies. The network collectively invests a huge sum of money into the insurance market, which in turn gives Routen Chaplin significant influence and leverage. This means that we can compete with much larger brokers in terms of cost and insurance coverage, whilst our customers can still enjoy the local company service excellence that we continually strive for.

We are proud to be members of Willis Towers Watson Networks. For more information please follow this link: Network Benefits.
